My name is Tenny Fatoke. I was born in Nigeria. I moved to the United States in 2017
for greater opportunities. I am a Public Relations major. I have been selected to
serve as a Public Relations intern in the External Relations department at Vincennes
University. This internship gives me hands-on experience and prepares me for the field
of public relations.
My duties include taking pictures, noteworthy news reporting, faculty interviews,
and spotlighting VU students with interesting stories. I am the Vice President of
the College Activities Board, and Student Ambassador, and I am currently serving diligently
at the Knowledge Market as a tutor.
When I’m back home in Indianapolis, I volunteer at my local church, Lakeview Church,
in the Children's Ministry. I always try to be great at whatever I find myself doing
regardless of how small it may be. I never settle for less and I never will. I plan
to, with the help of God, get my bachelors degree after graduating from VU with my
associates degree.
What does an average day in your job look like?
This internship gives me hands-on experience and prepares me for the field of public
relations. My duties include taking pictures, noteworthy news reporting, faculty interviews,
and spotlighting VU students with interesting stories.
What do you enjoy most about your position?
I get to talk to my favorite professors, learn more about them and write stories about
them.
How did VU help prepare you for your career?
I have learned a lot so far. My communication skills have improved since I enrolled
in VU.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
I am looking forward to graduation. I am eager to use all I have learned in the real
world.
